Children’s Art Classes and Camps at the Lowe (Children’s Pavilion)

Children’s Art Classes and Camps at the Lowe (Children’s Pavilion) offer children’s art classes, a children’s art camp, and art projects. These classes and camps take place in the Children’s Pavilion, which is designed to encourage children to explore their own creativity. Beaux Arts continues to expand the year-round class offerings, and the proceeds benefit the Lowe Art Museum.

• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Held primarily during school breaks in the winter, spring, and summer

Beaux Arts was founded in 1952, and the Children’s Pavilion was built in 1953 with support from Beaux Arts. Beaux Arts is a 100% female-run volunteer non-profit whose mission is to encourage an understanding and appreciation of the arts in South Florida and support the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami. Toward that mission, Beaux Arts welcomes art director Dr. Jill Deupi as the Beaux Arts Director and Chief Curator of the Lowe Art Museum. In 2011, Beaux Arts was honored by the University of Miami Alumni Association with the White Award, which recognizes an affiliate group that has made significant contributions to the University.

Through its “HandsOn! – A Children’s Celebration in Art” program, Beaux Arts brings underserved kids from across Miami-Dade County to the museum for a day that includes learning about specific exhibits and taking part in art projects, with free admission and paid transportation for students from Title 1 elementary schools and CHARLEE Homes for Children. In 2014, Beaux Arts also brought this art appreciation program to children residing at the Chapman Partnership Homeless Shelter.
